    84 GS1150 rebuild

    I inherited this GS that hasn't moved in about 20 years. It's was parked due to two plugs broken in the number 1 and 4 cylinders, the core came out but threads remained. All attempts to remove it failed, one plug still had a easy out snapped off inside the plug body.

    So removing the head seemed the only way to get at the problem. I thought I had better post pictures of what I found and see what the forum brain has to say. One cylinder had some very light surface rust, I think it will rub out is that a problem?
